intelligence, which had since been downgraded in classification level, indicated that this could be happening right now even as these talks have been under way, diplomatic talks have been under way. so clearly there is a lot of daylight here between what the u.s. and the russians are thinking about in terms of finding a diplomatic solution to this conflict. russia now apparently taking steps to create that pretext to launch an invasion of ukraine. they have of course been building up their force capacity on the border since late october, early november. you know, the possibility of them launching an attack on very short notice has been top of mind for u.s. officials for months now. natasha bertrand, thanks so much. sobering reporting there. still ahead, navigating a new reality in the middle east. foreign leaders calculating just how powerful, perhaps just how reliable an ally the u.s. can be now. the jordanian foreign minister will join me live next.
